Title: Improvements in triple-acting valves for the compressed air-brakes of trains, tram-cars, and other vehicles
IPC: B60T15/18
Filed: 1923-01-22
Abstract: 214,703. Sch³ren, H. Jan. 22, 1923. Fluid-pressure.-A triple valve comprises a pair of connected pistons subject to the opposing pressures in the train-pipe and the auxiliary reservoir and' held by springs in the lap position when these pressures are equal so that a partial release of the brakes can be obtained. An additional passage is uncovered by excess of pressure in the train-pipe for effecting a rapid recharging of the auxiliary reservoir. A sudden drop in train-pipe pressure opens an additional supply passage to the brake cylinder. The cross-section of the brake cylinder supply passage can also be adjusted bv hand according to the nature of the train. The casing 1 of the valve is connected to the train-pipe at 24, to the atmosphere at 26, to the brake cylinder at 27, 30 and to the auxiliary reservoir at 25. A needle valve 15 sliding in the end wall of the casing and controlling a passage 7, 8 in the rod 4 connecting the pistons 5, 6 is urged to the closed position by a spring 19. Under running conditions, with the train-pipe and auxiliary reservoir pressures equalized the parts assume the position shown under the influence of the springs 14, 19. In charging, with a slight excess of pressure in the train-pipe the pistons move to the right and unseat the valve 15, permitting air to flow from the train-pipe to the auxiliary reservoir through the passages 7, 8. With a considerable excess of pressure in the train-pipe a further feed passage 34, 32 to the auxiliary reservoir is uncovered. In effecting an application of the brakes, one or both of the passages 27 according to the suddenness of the train-pipe pressure reduction, is uncovered to the reservoir chamber R until equalization of the reservoir pressure with that in the train-pipe causes the return of the pistons to the position shown. A partial release of the brakes can be obtained by slightly raising the train-pipe pressure when the piston 6 uncovers one of the passages 27 to the atmosphere chamber A until upon equalization of the train-pipe and reservoir pressures through the passages 7, 8, the pistons are returned by the spring 14. A cock 29 has a number of passages of varying cross-section one or the other of which is interposed in the. brake cylinder passage 27, 30 according as the valve is for use on a goods, passenger or an express train.

Title: Method of rapid chilling, and freezing and de-frosting for the transportation and preservation of food products
IPC: A23B4/06
Filed: 1930-01-20
Abstract: 339,172. Zarotschenzeff, M. T. Feb. 16, 1929, [Convention date]. Preserving meat, fish,fish. &c. - Perishable animal foodstuffs, for example meat, such as beef, pork, poultry or game, and more especially fish, are rapidly chilled or frozen for preservation or transport by subjection to air saturated with a highly atomized liquid such as fresh or sea water or brine in the form of fog and at a low temperature for example -22<‹> to - 25‹ C. The foodstuffs may subsequently be defrosted by treatment with a fog-laden atmosphere at a temperature above freezing. In the example given, carcases 22, 23 or boxes of fish 24 are hung on rails within an oscillated treatment chamber 1. The fog is obtained by forcing the cold water, brine or other liquid into the chamber through atomizers 7. An inclined bottom 16 collects the liquid deposited in the chamber after it has first passed through a strainer 15 for removing dirt, the liquid leaving through a pipe 26 to a refrigerating tank 5 the upper part of which has a strainer 12. The liquid is cooled in the tank 5 by coils &c. 14 through which a refrigerating fluid is passed. The liquid is returned to the atomizers 7 by a pump 11 through a strainer 27, a pipe 28, one of the charcoal or like sterilizing filters 8 having valves 9, 10 and pipes 30, 20, 21. The pipes outside the chamber 1 are insulated. When the articles are -frozen through by using a low temperature such as -20‹ to -25‹ C., they are subsequently glazed with ice by dipping in or applying fresh water. Any moisture on the surface of the chilled articles may be removed by means of absorbent sheets &c. or by placing them in a chamber to which cold purified air is supplied. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also the provision of cooling pipes in the chilling chamber, and the use of the chamber for storage of the food subsequent to the chilling. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
